Search

Use this page to combine Keyword, Person,
Place and Date searches. You can specify a particular
type of source, e.g. images and maps; limit your search to a particular
resource or resources; and/or select only material which is
free to access. For a short introduction to the key features of Connected Histories, see our
video guide.

Use * for wildcards (e.g. ta*lor returns
taylor and tailor), but not at the start of a word; the more letters
you specify the better.

Multiple word searches function as either/or, with results with
both or all terms returned first. To search for
all the words in your query place a plus sign (+)
before each term; to exclude a particular term place a minus
sign (-) directly in front. To search for phrases
(exact strings, e.g. "Earl of Sandwich"), use double quotes, but this search
will ignore stopwords such as of.
